Dinocalypse Now: Hell Comes to Hollywood - A Spirit of the Century Adventure

It's the free Spirit of the Century adventure tie-in to Chuck Wendig's Dinocalypse Now!

While the heroes of the novel unravel the mystery of the cross-time invasion, another group of centurions, stranded in Los Angeles and on the run from psychosaurs, must join forces and save the city from dinosaurs, evil apes, and conniving neanderthals. From dizzying roof-top heights, to the depths of the Shadow Baron's criminal empire, this town's gone to Hell -- and only a weakened Century Club has a chance of stopping it all!

While I couldn't quite convince my book club to read Dinocalypse, I did manage to get a group together to play this recently. I just got my shipment of the Deck of Fate, and wanted to give it a spin. My group loved it. We generally play very humorou [...]

Played this as my groups first introduction to Spirit of the Century and it was a complete blast. It worked perfectly as a hook to get my group interested in the Fate mechanics and Spirit settings. None of has had read Dinocalypse prior to playing this [...]

When I run games at conventions, there are a few guidelines I use. The first is that the scenario I've chosen to run is exciting. Nobody wants to try a game they're excited about at a convention, only to have the GM run a boring encounter. I want you [...]

I'll start off by saying that it was tons of fun. Ran it with a couple adults and a couploe of kids, and everyone was able and willing to appreciate it. I think that it was a phenomenal introduction to playing FATE, and, specifically, Spirit of [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
